Abstract
A photoelectric conversion element is provided which includes a semiconductor electrode (108) containing a semiconductor layer (103) and a dye, a counter electrode (109), and an electrolyte layer (104) disposed between the semiconductor electrode (108) and the counter electrode (109) and in which the dye contains a compound expressed by General Formula 1. (where A in General Formula 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group and may contain one or more atoms of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, silicon, phosphorus, boron, or halogen and the aromatic group may be obtained by condensing a plurality of aromatic groups).
